The Crap I Know Is Better Than The Crap I Don’t Know

Sometimes it is hard to take action because new choices mean new outcomes. Even though I know my present situation isn’t perfect it is something I understand and I know how to manage it.

Something new might be better or it might be worse than what is going on right now. When this happens it can be easy to cling to the present situation because “the crap we know is better than the crap we don’t know.”

Today we are going to tap for the desire to stay put because it predictable and manageable.

The Crap I Know Is Better Than The Crap I Don’t Know
(audio 4m40s)

I know I want so much better…I know I want my life to change…To eliminate burden…And to fill up my life with things that I love…To get rid of the things that are no longer useful…And fill up with the things there are…But there’s a part of me that recognizes the fact…That what I’m dealing with right now is known…Even though it’s far from perfect…And sometimes downright painful…I’m in a position…Where I know what’s coming…I know the things that suck in my life…I know the things that take too much time…I know the things that annoy me…And since they’re all known…They are predictable…They are things I can manage…They are things I can take care of…And if I change my life…There are many things that will come at me…Which are brand new…Which are different…And for some of those reasons…That’s why I’m taking action…On some level…That’s why I want change…But new and different is unpredictable…And there’s a part of me that would rather have uncomfortable predictability…Than uncomfortable unpredictability…Because the things I don’t know…Might actually be so much worse than what I’m experiencing now…The things I don’t know…Might be too much for me to handle…But I give myself permission…To recognize the fact…I have handled new and unpredictable things before…I have handled change before…There are unknowns out there…But there are also great changes and transformation…And I give myself permission to allow that to happen…I give myself permission to be open to new and different…Knowing I can handle the unknown…Because it’s time to leave what I’m stuck in now…It’s time to experience the new.
